www.law360.comI don’t have live access to pull today’s headlines right now, but I can point you to places that regularly publish the latest, and summarize a few “recent” items I was able to see from sources I can currently view.
Where to check the latest criminal-defense news
- NACDL (National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers) Press Center (updates on defense-bar policy/legal issues):[3]
- Criminal Practice coverage (Law360) for fast-moving U.S. criminal-law developments (often analysis plus filings/rulings):[6]
- Criminal defense news aggregators/blogs (good for “what’s happening,” but quality varies):[2][5]
Examples of recent items I can see
- NACDL-related legal action re: DOJ transparency: A news release page I found describes a lawsuit seeking FOIA records about DOJ implementation of new charging/sentencing policies.[3]
- Criminal defense directory site updates: One “latest news” page appears to post directory additions (law offices joining listings), which can be useful for finding firms but is not necessarily legal-news reporting.[2]
Quick question (so I can narrow it)
When you say “criminal defense lawyer,” do you mean:
1) news about a specific lawyer/person, or
2) general news about criminal defense law (cases, rulings, policy, ethics, Supreme Court, etc.)?
If you tell me your preferred state (e.g., Texas), case type (DWI, drug, assault, federal), and whether you want national or local, I’ll tailor a focused news roundup.
